Seat press release :
Coinciding with its showroom debut in the UK this month SEAT is today
revealing full price and specification details of its new Ibiza ST.
The exciting third ‘silhouette’ in the SEAT line-up joins the sporty
Ibiza SC and practical Ibiza 5dr to make today’s Ibiza range the most
extensive in the Spanish supermini’s 25-year history.
Another sleek product of the pen of SEAT’s chief designer, Luc
Donckerwolke, the estate version of SEAT’s biggest seller is, clearly,
created to offer more carrying capacity without compromising on the
sporty style that makes the Ibiza one of the most dynamic and
eye-catching superminis on the road.
Boot space is up 138 litres over the 5dr taking the car’s carrying
capacity to a sizable 430 litres (seats up) meaning, among other things,
that the ST offers a great value alternative to many apparently larger
family hatchbacks from the class above.
Offered from launch with a broad variety of engines, including sporty
turbocharged petrols and frugal latest generation turbodiesels, and
with the option of a familiar five-speed manual or hi-tech seven-speed
DSG gearbox, the new SEAT is even available to order in super-frugal
Ecomotive form, with CO2 emissions confirmed at a road tax-busting 92 g/km and an exceptional combined fuel economy figure of 80.7 mpg.
The extensive array of modern engines includes a newly EUV-compliant
1.4 and rises to a turbocharged 1.2-litre TSI that’s available with
manual or ‘self-shifter’ DSG ‘box. Diesel Ibiza ST buyers are offered
the choice of a refined 75 PS 1.2-litre TDI CR – also available in the
Ecomotive version – or a potent 1.6-litre TDI CR that’s good for 105 PS
at 4,400 rpm.
Performance is fully in keeping with the Spanish brand’s sporty ethos
and the most dynamic version at launch, the 1.2 TSI with DSG-auto,
covers the 0-62 mph dash in a spirited 10.1 seconds before charging on,
where legal, to a top speed of 118 mph.
Clearly, Ibiza ST buyers will be looking for practicality as well as
sporty style, though, and to that end the new car includes a selection
of common sense features that make it as ‘sensible’ as it is ‘chic’.
Split folding rear sears with a 60/40 bias, sleek roof rails in
either black or chrome finish, a carefully designed low load height and
wide rear hatch, a flat boot floor and innovative storage options
throughout the ST’s smart interior enable it to work with effortless
efficiency.
Available to order now in SEAT’s familiar and clear model line-up of S
A/C, SE and Sport, the new Ibiza ST costs from just £12,070 RRP for the
entry-level 1.4-litre 16V S A/C. Prices rise through engine and
equipment levels to a current ceiling of £14,910 for the Ibiza ST 1.2
TDI CR Ecomotive in luxurious SE spec.
No matter what their budget, though, all Ibiza ST buyers can look
forward to a generous complement of standard-fit kit including, among
much else: air conditioning; four-speaker stereo radio with
MP3-compatible CD and AUX-in; steering column-mounted audio controls;
electric front windows; roof rails; speed sensitive electro-hydraulic
power steering; volumetric alarm and remote central locking with
deadlocks.
Like its Barcelona-built cousins the Ibiza SC and Ibiza 5dr, the new
Ibiza ST boasts a liberal list of safety features as standard. All
versions feature head and chest airbags for both driver and front seat
passenger, head-thorax front side airbags, front passenger airbag
disconnection, ABS and three three-point rear seatbelts.
Optionally available, depending on engine and spec choices, are other
features such as SEAT’s clever electronic XDS system – which mimics the
function of a conventional limited slip differential – and Electronic
Stability Programme (ESP).
On the subject of options, Ibiza ST buyers are able to specify an
extensive array of extras to make their new car even more luxurious.
Among the items available are: climate control (including a refrigerated
glove compartment); Bi-xenon headlights with AFS, headlight washers and
daytime running lights; a panoramic glass sunroof (in lieu of roof
rails) and a variety of alloy wheels that, depending on spec, can
measure up to 17 inches.
Welcoming the latest addition to the stylish Ibiza ‘family’ SEAT UK
Product Manager Andy McGregor said: ‘Our new ST shows that small cars
really can be both roomy and stylish.
‘The car’s arrival in SEAT showrooms makes the Ibiza line-up not only
the most extensive in our history but, also, the most practical and
attractive. I’m sure we’ll see the new Ibiza ST carve out a very
successful niche for itself as buyers latch onto its great looks,
flexibility and convenience.’
